Full Version: Want to buy soft lead
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am finding that pouring 10 and 12 ounce pyramid sinkers uses lots of lead. I am interested in purchasing several pounds of soft lead. It does not need to be pure lead. If you have any you would like to sell or know where I can buy some, at a reasonable price, please let me know.

Note: I live in Utah but travel to Mountain Home area frequently, so anywhere along that route would work.

You would be better to buy hard lead, The kind that has alloy. It is much cheaper. Pure is going for a dollar a pound used. New is over 2 dollars. You should get alloy for under a dollar.

I have found soft lead at $1 a pound in ingots. I have found hard lead (perhaps it is soft, not sure which) at $.83 and $.85 a pound in scraps.

Have you checked scrap yards, I used to get mine at them, now I look around on ebay for it.

You have replied to a three-year-old post.  A couple of kind guys on here, graciously, shared lead with me.  It seems one never has enough though.  I will check out eBay and see what I find.  It would seem that shipping would be prohibitive on lead.
